Carroll Hill School

Summary:

Carroll Hill School is an elementary school located in Troy, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population of 340, the school is part of the Troy City School District, which is ranked 650 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Carroll Hill School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in academic achievement. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 36.59% of 3rd graders, 26.98% of 4th graders, and 23.08% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68%, respectively. The school's Math proficiency rates were also below state averages, with 56.1% for 3rd grade, 28.13% for 4th grade, and 20.75% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.93%, 58.03%, and 48.93%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low-income families.

When comparing Carroll Hill School to other nearby schools in the Troy City School District, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, PS 18, which is less than a mile away, consistently outperforms Carroll Hill School in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with significantly higher rankings in the state. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's low rankings for subgroups suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic outcomes, and targeted interventions and evidence-based instructional strategies may be necessary to address the persistent underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
